Morph Challenge

Person 2 takes that song and changes 50%. 50% is whatever you decide: Lyrics, chords, instrumentation, style, or any combination.
Post a link to the morphed song in this thread and inform the next person in the chain.

Rule 2 is: DON'T listen to the other prior songs in the morph chain before you've finished and posted your morph.

[If you decide to be Person 1, I will also put you at the end of that chain, so you have the fun of morphing the morph [x5] of your original song.]

--- --- --- ---
I have an idea for a morph web. Anybody can morph any song. Change 50-90%, post a link to your new song when you're done, and tell me which song you morphed, so we can try to track it. Let's see if this leads to mass confusion, or if it works better than the chain. [Ie Aug 2, there are currently 10 songs you could morph from]

@simpleiscomplex You have 6 completed songs. Which one would you like people to morph? [Easier than writing a new song just for the challenge!]

@Peter Arvidson You're re-writing the song mostly for yourself. Write it until it feels done. Typically 2:30 to 4:00. If the person before you writes something that feels too short, make yours longer. If it feels too long, make it shorter.

@plainwhitetoast added to Morph 1@helen added to Morph 2. If you come up with a song [or we can use a song you've already done] let me know,@Cicpisces added to Morph 2. I see you've got only lyrics so far. Do we need to find someone who can collab with you on the music?

Ok, @Powerstars! You're on Morph 2.@helen and @Cicpisces - are you collabing for the starting song for Morph 2? If so, I'll also put you at the end of Morph 2 so you can morph the morph [x5] of your song.

@Cicpisces + @helen Great way to start off Morph 2! You're at the end, so you can finish it, too @Powerstars You're up!@squeakmouse73 You're in Morph 2 right after Powerstars@simpleiscomplex Silly Sally is a good song. We could run it as is, if you're having problems making a backing track.

Here's an idea. I don't know if it's practical.
Song # is posted. [ie Morph 1 = *31644, Morph 2 = *31332]
Any number of people morph Song # into Song #.a [b, c, d, e etc]
Any number of people morph any Song #.a into Song #.a.# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.]
Any number of people morph any Song #.a.# into Song #.a.#.a

And so on. There's no waiting. You can play as often as you want. You can morph whoever you want to morph, and anyone can morph you.
Would this work, or is it too confusing? If it might work, should we try it?

I hate that it took as long as it did to do as little as I did, and there were a couple splosives I wish I knew how to remove. Still working on best mic placement for what I have. Um, and why am I having problems finding where the tags option is? http://fiftyninety.fawmers.org/song/31853

Thanks a lot [@iveg], yet you don't have to give me your slot in the morph chain!! I can well wait for another chain, there's still plenty of time... Or if you're done with organizing, I'd start a new post and organize a third one.

No problem! I want to explore the idea of morph webs, or mutant children. I started one, but changed 90%. I'm in the middle of other big projects (that I'm stalling on). Giving up my slot was the easiest solution.
